Somehow my sessions aren't expiring, while I have the values Session Lifetime and Inactivity Timeout both set to 1 hour. When I return to my G2 installation after that time, I'm still logged in (I have closed the browser in the meantime as well). The only way I can logout is by actually clicking the logout link, but I want G2 to logout automatically after 1 hour. Any suggestions?

you probably still have a session cookie with a longer lifetime from before you changed the setting to 1 hour. try removing the cookie from your browser and trying again.. does it expire correctly now?

Also, are you using a subdomain?
eg www.mydomain.com, and mydomain.com, and gallery.domain.com

sometimes if you logout on www.mydomain.com, you are still logged in under mydomain.com, etc.

I don't quite remember if gallery handles this correctly or not, because I haven't used it in awhile, but that might be something to consider.

mindless, thanks a lot, I still had my neverending cookie in the cache indeed. It expired properly now.
